Why does the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg exist?
States like Luxembourg were the norm in Europe for hundreds of years but come the French Revolution and the advent of industrialization, tiny monarchical fiefdoms quickly fell out of fashion.

Napoleonic France, the United Netherlands, revolutionary Belgium, and the Kingdom of Prussia all failed to incorporate Luxembourg in the long term. Defying the trends of their time, Luxembourgers asserted their own identity.
